Original job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

MACHINE OPERATOR (COPV)

The Starship COPV Composites Technician manufactures flight-critical composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) used to store high-pressure gases on Starship and Super Heavy. This is a hands-on production role: preparing metallic liners, filament-winding the composite overwrap, curing, and trimming, finishing, and assembling COPV hardware to engineering drawings and process specifications.

This position is onsite at a SpaceX production facility supporting Starship COPV manufacturing. The successful candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable working from travelers and work instructions, and able to produce consistent, high-quality composite work in a fast-paced flight-hardware environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Prepare metallic COPV liners and bond interfaces for overwrap, including grit blast, hand abrasion, and power abrasion
Manufacture COPVs by filament winding composite fiber onto liners, including hoop and helical winding patterns, fiber tension, and resin application (wet winding and/or towpreg)
Set up, operate, and tend filament winding equipment; load liners, verify winding programs, and monitor fiber path, bandwidth, and resin wet-out during the wrap
Mix, handle, and apply resins and adhesives per process specification, including pot life, mix ratio, and material traceability
Cure COPV overwraps and bonded assemblies in ovens or autoclaves, including thermocouple placement and process monitoring
Trim and finish composite and composite-metallic COPV assemblies to drawing requirements
Assemble COPV hardware, including setup, bonding, and fastener installation at bosses, fittings, and related structure
Complete basic layouts on parts and assemblies to establish reference points and verify dimensions using calipers, micrometers, precision scales, and torque wrenches
Follow travelers, work instructions, and standard operating procedures; record work and nonconformances as required
Maintain FOD control, material traceability, and a clean, organized work area in a high-rate production environment

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate
1+ years of experience working with in a manufacturing environment

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience manufacturing composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) or other filament-wound pressure-critical hardware
Experience operating CNC or programmable filament winding machines
Experience controlling hoop and helical wind patterns, fiber tension, bandwidth, and resin content
Experience drilling, reaming, honing, and/or countersinking close-tolerance holes, and installing fasteners with the correct tool for the job (drill motor, power screwdriver, C-squeeze, ratchet wrench, nut runner, rivet gun and bucking bar, etc.)
Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings, including drawing symbols, flag notes, and general notes
Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and to work from travelers and SOPs (standard operating procedures)
Experience with oven or autoclave cure cycles and thermocouple placement
Experience building flight hardware or other pressure-critical composite structures
Attention to detail and accuracy while working in a fast-paced production environment

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Standing for long periods, climbing ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching are generally required to perform the functions of this position
Must be able to lift and carry up to 25 lbs. unassisted
Must be able to climb ladders and work in tight spaces around winding equipment, tooling, and vessel hardware
Must be able to work shift hours (6:00am – 4:30pm Mon – Fri) including overtime, weekends, and holidays based on site operational needs
Must be able to travel up to 10% of the time
This role is onsite and is not eligible for remote or hybrid work
